#1,156: People who Love the Word of God

I sat and thought for a moment. How much do I love the Word of God? Having access to the Bible my entire life, has it become commonplace? Do I take it for granted? I began to pray and ask God for a renewed love for His Word. I prayed for a fresh hunger to know God more through the pages of Scripture.


Main Points:

1. You and I are to be people of the Word. The Bibles we possess are the very words of God. The chapters and verses are not simply the thoughts and insights of man, nor are they just historical stories of ancient peoples. 

2. Because God has revealed His Word through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and because it is infallible and without error, the Bible is the authoritative rule of faith and conduct. We accept the Bible as the final and unchanging authority for what we believe and how we are to live.

3. Since this is true, the Bible must become our daily spiritual food. We must become people of the Word. We must allow scripture to shape our worldview. Through the pages of the Bible, we come to know God in a personal way. We discover His will for our lives and we learn how to please Him.


Today’s Scripture Verses:

2 Peter 1:20-21 - “Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet’s own understanding, or from human initiative. No, those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from God.”

Psalm 119:105 - “Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.”

Psalm 119:47-48 - “…for I delight in your commands because I love them. I reach out for your commands, which I love, that I may meditate on your decrees.”
